Tribute to classic rock bands/artists

I find that today there is not enough classic rock around to much mainstream pop and rap, i truly wish i was born into a different time period, Like the late 70s? no earlier when the music was still real like the early 70s (Bonus points to The first person who gets the quote And whoever can get all the bands/artists)

Now obviously i cant list them all But if you feel ive missed some feel free to add your own

Led Zeppelin are the best band in existence, no contest.
The Pixies
The Beatles, not sure if they count as rock.
Soundgarden
The Cure
Midnight Oil
Nirvana
The Smiths
Red Hot Chili Peppers
The Police
Split Enz

I can't stand AC/DC, the singer sounds like a dying cat, and the drummer has absolutely no variation of style.
